1ST IN THE WORLD 15-0 FUT CHAMPS 4213 CUSTOM TACTICS + PLAYER ROLES IN FC 25!

Alright, you lot, let's dive into the tactics that got me the first-ever Rank 1 in Foot Champs this past weekend. We're talking about the 4213 Pro custom tactics and player roles – the real deal. This is the stuff that's been cooking in the Elite Division, and trust me, it's not just the team, it's the tactics!

Formation and Defensive Approach

We're sticking with the 4213. It's the meta, everyone's using it at a high level, and for good reason. When you Counterattack, the fullbacks from the other team are exposed. We run down the line, exploit the space, pass it inside, and score some goals.

• Defensive Style: Balanced
• Width: 71 (This gives you that extra edge, stepping up automatically)
• Depth: High (Keeps your team on the halfway line, press high to win the ball high up the pitch)

Player Instructions and Roles

Let's break down the player roles and instructions, position by position.

• Goalkeeper:

  • Vesel/Sweeper Keeper: We need someone tall who can rush out. This is crucial to stop counterattacks and one-on-ones. If you're on a budget, someone like Cech is very good.

• Defenders:

  • Rudiger/Defend: Big, quick, and a presence.
  • Canate/Defend: Big, quick, and a presence.
  • Holland/Defend: If you're on a cheap budget, get gold Van Dyke and gold Canate.
  • Right Back: Lorente/Fullback Balance: Bruiser plus plus.
  • Left Back: Theo Hernandez/Fullback Balance: Bruiser plus plus.
    • Cheap Alternatives:
      • Left Back: DeMarco or Mendy (left-footed, powerful, can attack and defend).
      • Right Back: Dodo Evolution or Gray Evolution.

• Central Defensive Midfielders (CDMs):

  • Right CDM: Valverde/Holding and Defend: Incisive pass silver at least.
  • Left CDM: Dong/Holding and Defend: Incisive pass silver at least.
    • Key Attributes: Need someone who can defend and attack. These players sit a bit deeper when counterattacking, so you need the passing playstyles to start the counter from further back.
    • Cheap Alternatives: Normal Valverde, 89 Red Gundogan (free), Soko Evolution.

• Central Attacking Midfielder (CAM):

  • Javi Simmons/Run Shadow Striker and Attack: This guy is amazing. He's roaming in between the lines, standing next to Mbappe on one of the two sides.
    • Key Attributes: Five-star four-star, gold finesse, gold press proven, silver incisive, silver Ticky Tacker, silver long ball.

• Wingers:

  • Right Winger: Winger an attack.
    • Key Attributes: Gold finesse.
    • Cheap Alternatives: SBC, C Palmer SBC.
  • Left Winger: Janola/Winger an attack:
    • Key Attributes: Powerful, big, can win a header, can shoot on his left foot as well as right, five-star weak foot.
    • Cheap Alternatives: Attacking Avalanche Evo (Jai Simmons, Kavar Skele), Gold player (quick, skills, weak foot, Karelia Gold).

• Striker:

  • Mbappe/Advance Forward plus plus attack:
    • Key Attributes: Pace, ball control, shooting.
    • Cheap Alternatives: Turam (88 rated), Drogba.

Tactics in Action

This is the team without the ball. Look how wide we are with the ball. As soon as we win it, we're spreading out, getting the ball into Valverde, getting the ball into Javi Simmons, finding the wingers, and you'll have a 3v3 counterattack because the other players' fullbacks will most of the time run up the pitch.
